HI d.m.holdawayGA2553, yes, that makes sense :D OK, I would do it this way: 1. get the rects of all 3 buttons 2. randomize the rects -> sort... by random(YYYY) 3. Apply the rects back to the fields 4. Do this every 2 seconds on this card until the user closes/leaves the card. Is that what you need? ...

Hi,

hmm, define "random"!

Since Livecodes Standalone builder still does not copy third party external to the standalone, like the Enhanced QuickTime External that I use a LOT, although they are listed in the standalone builder settings, I started to add a "on ...

Hi Kia, Can I apply this to reading the URL file itself In place of having to put it into a variable first? Is it in efficient putting this formation into a variable over and over? I will be performing this task over and over as part Of an error check in the App. well, this is a question of efficien...

Hi Bill, sorry, my fault, I mixed them up a bit... OK, FUNCTIONS always require parens () and NOT a preceeding THE. "commandkey", like some other build-in functions, can be used in both ways: 1. like a function: put commandkey() into tCommandKey 2. like a property: put THE commandkey into tCommandKe...
